Download or read book The Natives of the Northern Territories of the Gold Coast written by A. W. Cardinall and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-02-24 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1920, Natives of the Northern Territories of the Gold Coast is a study of the ethnological attributes of a West African tribe. It was meant as a record of personal observations for European merchants, soldiers or officials who wanted to explore and colonize West Africa. While a meticulous anthropologist, the author does not claim to understand the reasons behind the practices of indigenous people. For the modern reader, the overt racism might be unsettling but it is also evidence of the perceptions that propelled the white man’s research. The language used is a reflection of its era and no offence is meant by the Publishers to any reader by this republication. This book will be of interest to students of history, anthropology, and ethnic studies.

Download or read book Ethnicity and the Making of History in Northern Ghana written by Carola Lentz and published by Edinburgh University Press. This book was released on 2006-07-04 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on two decades of research this social and political history of North-Western Ghana traces the creation of new ethnic and territorial boundaries, categories and forms of self-understanding, and represents a major contribution to debates on ethnicity, colonialism and the 'production of history'. It explores the creation and redefinition of ethnic distinctions and commonalities by African and European actors, showing that ethnicity's power derives from a contradiction: while ethnic identities purport to be non-negotiable, creating permanent bonds, stability and security, the boundaries of the communities created and the associated traits and practices are malleable and adaptable to specific interests and contexts.

In this intensive case study on educational development by two principal considerations. The documentary materials relating to the earlier history of the Gold Coast and adjacent areas were unusually extensive and well organized. Ghana now possesses the most elaborated school system in sub-Saharan Africa. But the expansion of this system has given rise to many perplexing problems and revealed many unexpected consequences, and the author suggests that similar experiences will be the lot of many other countries, even outside Africa. So this is not just study of Ghanaian education alone but a case study wherein some of the basic processes underlying educational growth in states newly emerging from colonial rule are delineated.This is Volume III of eighteen in a series on the Sociology of Development.
